Ninka kitchen cabinet corner mechanisms: smart solutions to optimize space

Optimizing storage space in the kitchen environment, making the most of all available space, even in corner cabinets that are often difficult to reach, is now more essential than ever to meet the needs of the industry's leading international brands in terms of functionality, aesthetics and practicality.

This is why Ninka, a German company specializing in plastic molding and surface finishing, has developed two organizational solutions to optimize kitchen corners: the innovative Trigon corner cabinet system and the Qanto corner base cabinet lift column.

 

Trigon: functionality, design and sustainability

Trigon is Ninka's environmentally sustainable solution for optimizing kitchen corners, ideal for those seeking functionality design and sustainability It is based on a standardized garniture, compatible with all cabinet versions and widths. Swiveling and sliding shelves, each of which can support up to 25 kg, make the best use of space, not only in corner bases, but also in kitchen cabinet ends.

Easy to install, the Trigon 2.0 corner mechanism is now also an environmentally sustainable product, with a significantly reduced carbon footprint. In fact, the new revolving and sliding shelves are made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled materials obtained through energy-efficient milling.

Qanto: maximum space optimization

Qanto is the lift column for corner base cabinets designed to optimize all storage space in corner kitchens, island kitchens and kitchen cabinet end units. Recovering utensils stored in the cabinet is as simple as pressing a button. The Qanto base unit, fully pre-assembled for easy installation, comes as a Plug & Play solution, ready for immediate use and can be customized in terms of functionality and design using a configurator.

It is available in a basic version with two shelves, or in the new “Spice Qanto,” equipped with three shelves. With Qanto you have everything at your fingertips: placed next to the cooktop, the lower shelf can hold tall bottles of oil and vinegar, while the middle shelf, only half the size, can hold numerous spice jars.

The load capacity of the upper shelf is 10 kg while the lower shelf is 15 kg. In the Qanto system equipped with two shelves, the lower one can be configured as a pull-out element, on which heavy kitchen utensils can be placed, easily pulled out to place them on the worktop and put directly to use with the optional integrated power outlet. The countertop design can also be captured on an adapter plate, so that when closed, Qanto blends seamlessly with the kitchen countertop.
